The Baby Lifeline National Maternity Safety Conference
Our sixth National Maternity Safety Conference took place on 25th September 2025. The conference was solutions-focussed, with senior decision makers from NHS trusts, frontline staff, service users, and campaigners uniting to help to achieve Baby Lifeline’s goal: the best possible outcome for every mother, birthing person and baby.
Baby Lifeline is always keen to showcase best practice in healthcare, and we received a record-breaking number of submissions this year.
We were specifically looking to showcase quality improvement projects with outcome data.
Submissions outlined the maternity service quality improvement measure, including the following in fewer than 500 words:
- Aims & objectives: outline the “why?”
- Description of the intervention or initiative
- Impact of the project including relevant outcome data.
Take a look at last year’s posters here.
Submissions are now closed – we will be in touch in due course.
Key Dates:
- Abstract submission deadline: 30th June 2025 (11.59pm UK time)
- Abstract author notifications: beginning of August 2025
- Poster submission deadline: 11th September 2025

- At least one of the named authors will need to register and attend the conference in order for your abstract to be included in the competition. See website for booking details.
- Your poster should be portrait and size A0 (841 x 1189 mm or 33.1 x 46.8 inches)
- You will need to print and bring your poster to the conference; we will provide boards and fixings
